Greyscale Bridge and Lake

[timor]

I do have the color image! And as a special treat, I am posting it without absolutely any pp, including watermark. What do you think?

I think I like it better, then any of those b&w versions, it is really refreshing and works for me. Looks like the conversion does not separate the tones of grayscale to well. The foliage and water came out in the same values, railing and the bridge surface have similar values and actually blue on film would be darker, but I don't know if that would make the image better. I just have a feeling, that this landscape maybe not the best material for conversion.

Gotcha, thanks!

I actually prefer the more sepia one myself...I also like the cropping you did at first too. I think I like seeing the equal amount of water and sky and the horizon takes the eye across the photo rather than with more or less sky, I don't get that...but maybe that's just me...

Ha, I think I feel the same way xD

Biggest problem with the shot is the walk way leads me nowhere only to a horizon, for me there is nothing interesting in the shot
